Chiweenie Portrait



Yes.   It's a Chiweenie.  

Do you know this dog breed?  It's a chihuahua and dachshund mix.  This is a portrait that I painted of Ivy, my neighbor's new puppy.  Ivy is the sweetest little puppy EVER!  She always comes running over to say hello with a happy little smile on her face.  Once, she was running so fast that her little legs couldn't keep up with her and she did a full-on summersault!  So CUTE!

Anyway, I digress...  Ivy belongs to my neighbor's ten-year-old daughter and they got her when she was just a few weeks old, just barely old enough to be away from her mother.  She was so tiny!  My neighbor took a photo of Ivy sitting in a shoe right after they got her and she asked me to paint it for her daughter for Christmas.  We both decided that the black shoe  just wasn't cute enough, so I changed up the colors (just a little bit! <wink>  blue, pink and purple - YES!)

Painted Mine! by Jenny Mehler


This portrait is painted on an 8x10 canvas painted with acrylic paints.  Ivy has grown up a bit now, but she is still the sweetest little puppy ever!

And my neighbor's daughter was so excited with this gift that was custom-painted just for her...


Please contact me about commissioning a custom painted pet portrait just for you (or as a gift for your favorite animal lover).  In addition to canvas, I also paint customized Christmas ornaments, photo frames, etc.
